Machining and Manufacturing for Earthquake Recovery Integrated Product Team

The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center awarded a Master IDIQ for machining and manufacturing equipment, machine tools, work-holding devices, and peripheral equipment to support the Earthquake Recovery Integrated Product Team (EQIPT) on November 29, 2021, with ordering authority extending through November 30, 2026 — approximately four months remaining. This multiple-award, unrestricted vehicle carries a $49 million shared ceiling and has obligated $6.3 million of its $6.8 million combined task-order potential value across 75 awards.

Ordering momentum is declining materially. The vehicle averaged 15.2 orders annually over its first five years of operation; 2026 shows only one order issued as of the portfolio snapshot date (March 19, 2026), and activity fell from 23 orders in 2022 to 13 in 2024 before recovering slightly to 19 in 2025. The workload concentration among three prime contractors is extreme: Machine Tool Marketing Inc. holds 26 orders ($2.6 million), Pacific IC Source holds 36 orders ($2.2 million), and Machine Tools Usa, Inc. holds 13 orders ($2 million). These three firms capture one hundred percent of awarded task orders. Customer concentration is absolute — all 75 orders fund Naval Air Warfare Center programs.

Task order values cluster in the low-to-mid range, with recent orders spanning approximately $596 to $1.04 million in ceiling value. Notable larger orders include one for automated thermal shock and environmental test chambers awarded in September 2025 at $1.04 million and a junior system for sample preparation awarded in December 2025 at $483,243. The vehicle is nearly fully obligated at 93 percent of combined potential value. Approximately 93 percent of task orders carry no set-aside designation; the remaining 7 percent (five orders) are set aside for total small business, including recent awards for a resonant acoustic crystallizer and a sample preparation system.

Work-holding devices, CNC equipment, conventional machining tools, pressure and thermal testing systems, inspection machines, and associated installation and training services comprise the actual procurement mix. Firm-fixed-price delivery orders dominate the vehicle's structure. The window to pursue new work under this vehicle closes in less than five months.

This IDIQ has a requirement to procure machining and manufacturing equipment, machine tools, work-holding devices and peripheral equipment for conventional, computer numerically controlled equipment, and various services associated with acquired machinery to be used in the Earthquake Recovery Integrated Product Team (EQIPT).
